Working Remotely
Nice location, quiet setting, quiet road. Boonsboro is a neat little town, still within 30 minutes from Hagerstown and Frederick. Plenty of room. Host was pleasant and professional. Watch the headspace, the beams and thresholds will get you! At least once!

Lovely historical cabin
This place was perfect for us. Secluded and quiet area, great history, and great amenities. It’s definitely a historic cabin and may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who are taller than around 5’9”, or those with physical handicaps. For us it was perfect. The managers were great and communicated with us any time we asked questions. Highly recommend.

Rustic and unique
Host was very friendly and accommodating. House was stocked with everything you'd need and is rustic and cool. That said it was a little dirty for my family. Beware low ceilings. If you're taller than 5'8" you'll be ducking a lot, probably hitting your head too.

Hike the Maryland AT
This is an excellent location to section hike the AT from Harpers Ferry to the Mason Dixon line. We anticipated being able to check in at 4PM, but when we arrived were told that check in was at 7PM! We negotiated to 5:30PM. The caretaker lives in the basement and is super friendly, but you can hear between the floors a bit. It was a clean space with easy access to a couple of restaurants and a grocery store. For a place to crash between our day hikes, it worked out very well.

Perfect spot
We wanted a place that was close to our daughter and granddaughter but still felt remote. This was the perfect place. We both love old homes and the character that makes them unique. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. We are already planning to stay on our next visit.

Enjoyed our stay
The house and location were fantastic. We would have liked to have known that the owner lives in the basement, however. As 2 single women we were not happy to discover this fact after arriving. He was very nice, but because vrbo advertises that you 'get the whole house' we definitely were not expecting this to be the situation. Other than that, the house was lovely, clean and well-stocked.

Enjoyable getaway
We enjoyed our stay. We would have liked to have known before hand that there was someone in the basement. That startled us because we didn't see ether note until after we saw the person.
